3810's go on ebay for ~$1500. In fact, the highest one has gone for yet
in the past 30 days is about $1576.

the 26xx can run Enterprise IOS, while a 1750 can just do like ip/ipx/at
and a few other things.

Thats what I am thinking fxo/fxs. I can't really agree with you though
that a 3810 is "expensive"........one closed today on ebay for $1126 and
had a nice assortment of fxs/fxo ports to boot:

these aren't rare on ebay or the secondary market either.......like I said
$1500 looks like it can get something decent.

nod, thats why I was thinking 2620/2610. the 2620 will get you fast
ethernet as well. I am not sure if the fastethernet on the 1750 is
actually ISL/dot1q capible or not.
